I wasn't going to buy these yet...

It's just that, when I looked over the Elheim website after I bought the last Elheim lot I realised that some of their figures weren't Elheim, were being discontinued, and they didn't have many left. So I sent my next Elheim order in early...

This is the Force 20 lot I wanted to quickish. For 1/72nd they seemed very small.

Also got a load of other actual Elheim figures.

This is the important picture. It shows that the '1/72nd' Force 20 figures fit in well with the '1/76th' scale Langley seamen. Which is what I want really.

1/72nd Elheim figures

More figures for my 'smaller' Pulp games. The figures are  from Elheim and are 1/72nd, not 1/76th, so can be expected to be bigger that Langley figures. This is generally true but some of the Elheim figures show a bit of variation in size so overall they mix well.

These are PO6, professor, nurse, scientist and patient. I think the scientist is supposed to be holding a hypodermic syringe or something.

This lot are from DS01, Force 20 historical Port of Call figures.

Looking further into it turns out they aren't Elheim figures, but made by a US company called Force 20...

Elheim seem to have been making them under licence but the range is being discontinued!

More Force 20 figures - more are on order before they become hard to obtain in the UK.

Force 20 are owned by Covert Intervention Games in the US.  However, they are also advertised by TheHobbyDen so I assume can be ordered from there as well.

A few more Langley sailors

Still quietly building up 1/76th figures - at less than a pound each and only needing quite small numbers it's going well. A lot quicker and cheaper than 28mm figures!

Not exactly the most detailed paint job, but fit for purpose. Still quite a few Langley figures to go... 

I would love some of their boats but this one costs £131.10... but out of budget for wargaming purposes!

And this one a bit less at £68! Nice, and I'm tempted to think about them... but, for my purposes?... still tempted, and there are others as well... hate temptation.

Assorted Fishmen

To be honest, I consider these to be amongst my worst paint jobs.  However, it seems only fair to include them in the blog as they're playing their part in the Mythos. Besides, they look OK at a distance!

I've got enough walking and swimming fishmen for most scenarios.

 

Badly painted swimmers plus a body. Reviresco Gillmen.

Some bigger fishmen. This lot are RAFM deep ones.

I think these are all Reviresco...

Still got a few more to paint up. Don't know why I've painted the bases on the walking fishmen blue rather than green or grey.

Hereward 2019

Went there on Sunday but getting tied up with other things plus lots of my photos didn't come out well... So delayed and not as much to post as I would have liked.

Lots of space, not even a little bit crowded.

All the hall pictures that were usable came from the same hall...

Lots of Stars Wars stuff around...

...To be fair, it was a tournament...

RAF Cranwell were there with their tickling game and Cadet  Commander. Couldn't get Sandra to play though :(

They also had a game about the Great Emu War!

Lots of the games from Partizan were there - though, not as many of course. This was the witch racing one.

Historical games were well represented.

And some nice eye candy.

They even had sheep.

Plus bacon and sausage baps - without queues.

And I even bought something to store my paints in!

More on Wolves and Dire Wolves

Basically, found a couple more painted dire wolves .

Building up to quite a nice pack of something! Though I seem to have lost one of the original dire wolves I had found...

The lost one should be amongst this lot - basically, a no mans land between my two tables where I store everything that is not in use, has just been used or that currently has nowhere to go. In other words, the tip.

Sunken City 2 - end of the beginning?

Day 5  

Caught in the current we have drifted away from the sunken city. However, we are now caught on a sandbag. Fishman attacks ended once we left their domain. We have drifted onto a sandbank which gives us a chance to see if the propellers can be cleared of weed.

 Day 6   

We're clear! Free of the sandbank but still drifting South. We are keeping the engines going on minimal power as we are heading the right direction but have concerns about coal supplies.

Day 10
 

We continue to drift South on the current. These are indeed strange seas - crew on watch constantly and there have been reports of sea serpents...

Seemed a good idea to finish things of properly. On the other hand, the ship and it's crew are still floating about on 'Strange Seas' - good title for a series of scenarios... At some time I might even give the ship and it's crew names! Looks like the start of a series!

Which was not the intention when I set the first one up!
